Went exploring cheeky trails round Surrey, somewhat surprised when crossing a field and a bloke landed by us in a replica Junkers C1.

FoD was wet today. But new bike had to be ridden. I rode pretty much the same trails yesterday in the dry and today was quite a bit more challenging!

Had a cracking day in the Peak yesterday riding a few bits I’ve not ridden before, then had a quick blat round a very dusty, sketchy Chase this morning.

All in all a bloody good weekend so far 😀

Tour of the Cornfiekds, starting from Wimpole Hall outside Cambrudge. CX bike.

100km, the hurting creeps up on you.

Glorious Day around Grizedale and Claife.

Full enduro elbow mode at the Forfar Enduro

Took a trip to Hebden Bridge and finished with a run down Ragley.

Didn’t know that was Ragley, always just referred to it as Colden Clough

Did the road thing on Saturday, Oldham/Denshaw/Sowerby/Hebden/Bacup/Oldham as the hardest road ride I’ve horsed my 120kg around in ages.

The something else on Sunday ended up being deadlifts at the gym.

I failed at the tubeless set up, my Maxxis Mammoths are baggy so I’ll have to do some gaffer taping to get them to seal. After getting covered in Stans I couldn’t face the mudguard fitting.

Was at a christening this weekend so had to get up early on Saturday to get a ride in. Starting of at 5.45 though meant I got to see a nice sun rise…

Glorious autumn day yesterday here in Åre, all the tourists have gone home so no lift queues and lovely dry trails. 18c , wind still and just perfect.

Snapped gear cable meant a quick stop to fix it but not a bad place to do it
